Brother Of George Floyd Calls For Death Penalty For Police Officers Involved
The death of George Floyd has shocked the world, but most importantly has taken a greater toll on his family. While they spoke out previously demanding for justice to be served, the victim’s brother, Philonise Floyd, is calling for the death penalty for all police officers involved in his brother’s murder.
While appearing on CNN on Thursday (May 28), Philonise demanded, “These officers, they need to be arrested right now. They need to be arrested and held accountable about everything because these people want justice right now. These guys need to be arrested, convicted of murder, and given the death penalty.”

He adds, “They took my brothers life. He will never get that back. I will never see him again. My family will never see him again. His kids will never see him again. It hurts a lot. I grew up with him. That was my oldest brother. I love him. I’m never going to get my brother back.”
He continues, “We need justice. We need justice. Those four officers need to be arrested. They executed my brother in broad daylight. People had to film that. People had to see that. People pleaded for his life. Kids were out there seeing that. Nobody should have to witness that.”
Reacting to all of the protesting and looting in Minneapolis, he states, “People are torn and hurt because they’re tired of seeing black men die constantly, over and over again.”
